About the Workshop Learn to embroider wildflowers in this embroidery basics workshop with fiber artist Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ. This 2.5-hour, hands-on workshop covers how to get started with hand embroidery: placing fabric in the hoop, splitting apart thread, knots, an easy pattern transfer method, and a variety of beginner-friendly stitches. All materials are included to get you started on your hand embroidery journey! About the Instructor Melissa Galbraith is the fiber artist behind MCreativeJ. She was born and raised in Washington state where her mother instilled a love of making things by hand at an early age. Melissa shares her love of nature through whimsical and modern hand embroidery kits, hands-on workshops, and her books: 3D Botanical Embroidery & Stumpwork, How to Embroider Texture and Pattern, and DIY Embroidered Shoes. Melissa loves seeing makers fall in love with the needle arts, especially that magical ah-ha moment of learning something new.
